Info

From October 2015 it’s down to national implementation plans to close the gap between what we as young people need and what the SDGs promise. TAKING ACTION: HOW DO I MAKE A DIFFERENCE? A guide to how you can influence this process 12
STEP 1: EXPLORE THE PLEDGES 1 15 min Use a ‘problem tree’ to better understand why these pledges are needed in your country, and how you can push for them. How will you involve young people in this research – particularly the more vulnerable groups? LEAVES: SOLUTIONS Who, what, where, when and HOW? What would address the root causes and/or remove the barriers? Be as specific as possible. Should a new policy be created? Should a harmful policy be removed? Does an existing policy need to be better implemented? THIS WILL BE YOUR ADVOCACY ISSUE EXAMPLE SOLUTION: To end AIDS by 2030, governments must ensure that public health is prioritized over profit so that medicines are not too expensive and that HIV treatment is accessible for everyone living with HIV, particularly key populations. STARTING POINT TREE TRUNK: PROBLEM Who, What, Where, When? BRANCHES: BARRIERS There could be several barriers – are they cultural, social, political or economic? EXAMPLE PROBLEM: access to essential medicines (such as ART for HIV treatment) is limited in my country, because the cost is far too high. EXAMPLE BARRIER: pharmaceutical companies influence government legislation on patenting (copyright), often winning patents that prevent essential medicines from being made into generic (and therefore affordable) drugs. ROOTS: ROOT CAUSES Ask yourself why ... why ... and why again? EXAMPLE ROOT CAUSE: demand for profit from private health-care and pharmaceutical companies, who have a lot of resources they can use to influence the government. haveyouseenmyrights.org 13
